i am rebuilding my turbo and i am upgrading to a 360 thrust bearing with a dynamic seal and bronze journal bearing.

my question is my curret set up has just the dynamic seal and 270 degree thrust bearing.

the new setup comes with the 360 degree thrust, dynamice bearing and two other parts

a c-clip looking thing ( not the one that wholes the journas in place) and a washer with a raised side. both are pictured on the bottom.

where does these two new parts fit? im guessing some where on he dynamice seal?

fyi im calling the dynamic seal the thing that looks like a spinning top with wholes on it the 3 item on the top row form the left.

thanks

The C clip is your turbine sealthe washer goes on top of the 360 bearing (also called the PAC MAN) and the 360 bearing is secured to the CHRA via the screws.The bronze bearings are the turbo shaft bearings and goes INSIDE secured via C clips.

God, it's been awhile since I rebuilt a turbo, I definitly did not have any screws involved. Let me go find an article I used back in the day.

Treadstone has the rebuild kits for like $76...hell of a deal compared to buying a new one or paying for a rebuild.
